By an Order dated 15th June, 2026, this Court disposed of that IA/1922/2026, thereby permitting the applicant to withdraw the Interim Application with liberty to file an appropriate application before the trial Court for similar relief. Accordingly, the applicant filed the said application Exh.-10 seeking permission of the trial Court to obtain a fresh passport. 5. By the impugned Order, the trial Court allowed the application Exh.-10 but imposing the said condition No.3. 6. It is the matter of record that said condition No.3 was not imposed while granting bail to the applicant. Meaning, while granting the bail, the Court concerned was not of the view that the applicant is a flight risk and he may abscond. The applicant is seeking the fresh passport because he has got an employment opportunity vide email dated 21st July, 2026, that he has been assigned to MV WAN HAI 627. However, without valid travel documents the applicant cannot avail that opportunity. Ms. Gupte stated that the applicant is traveling abroad for limited period. 7. In the backdrop and, considering the facts of the case, the impugned condition No.3 is not justifiable. Instead, the applicant is directed that before traveling abroad he shall intimate the trial Court one week in advance enclosing the detailed itinerary, travel tickets, addresses and phone no. of the office through which he can be contacted and depositing cash security of Rs.50,000/-. 8. The Interim Application stands allowed in part. Hence, following Order:- (a) The Interim Application is partly allowed.
